'broken plural triptote in ـٍ ‎(-in)‎'

Hi, its declension shows 'broken plural triptote in ـٍ ‎(-in)‎' which is completely wrong. I'd like to know what alternative name can be used, for it's not a triptote. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:08, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

@Benwing2: He's right the declension classification is misleading. Maybe we should use the words "nunated" and "non-nunated" or something like that. Also, are you sure it's أَيَادٍ (ʔayādin) and not أَيَادِي (ʔayādī) in the indefinite nominative? And are you sure it's not أَيَادِيَ (ʔayādiya) in the indefinite genitive? --WikiTiki89 16:11, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

يد is for the human hand not animals

user:Fay Freak, يد is human hand, not used for animal hands which have different words, يد yad is derived from root verb يدي , to give by hand doesn't apply for animals Zahida2013 (talk) 02:08, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

This is incorrect reasoning. يَد (yad) is derived from nothing internal to Arabic, and the verbs mentioned are derived from it, and of course animals won’t reach out their hands like humans, but nonetheless they have hands also in Arabic. This is just a statistical distribution: Animals are likely to have other terms, but nonetheless they can have the same term. Fay Freak (talk) 12:12, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
